Robot Performs Intestinal Anastomosis on Pig Tissues Without Human Guidance

A robot has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human – a significant step in robotics toward fully automated surgery on humans. Designed by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers, the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) is described today in Science Robotics.

Researchers Create “Microrobots” That Can Morph into Various Shapes Before Hardening Like Bone

During birth, humans have gaps in the skulls that are enclosed by pieces of soft connective tissue known as fontanelles. Because of the fontanelles, the human skull is able to deform at the time of birth and pass successfully via the birth canal. Following the birth, the fontanelle tissue slowly turns to hard bone.
